* Pray
* Review Cry
- Ch. 13: Reference (Isaiah 42:6; 42:16; 40:28; 40:30-31); motif (fear); symbol (golden); allusion ("transfigured" and "lifted")
- Ch. 14: Motif ("Have no doubt it is fear in their eyes" pg. 128)
- Ch. 15: Theme (forgiveness; faith in God). Some things are God's secret; praying for understanding of a pain/issue/etc. right when one is hurt is often unwise; pray for endurance; pray for faith; pray for others.
- Ch. 16: Theme (restoration, forgiveness; Stephen Kumalo needs to more fully forgive his soon-to-be daughter-in-law)
- Ch. 17: Theme (racial reconciliation and faith; Mr. Carmichael will defend Absalom pro deo)
Book II
- Ch. 18: Motif; repetition (opening of "Book II" parallels "Book I")
- Ch. 19: Exposition (James Jarvis is Arthur's father; a narrative thread is explored through James Jarvis). Paton retreats a few paces, chronologically in the story, in order to pick up this strand.
- Ch. 20: Reference and Allusion: Abraham Lincoln (alludes to the righteous social concerns of Arthur Jarvis). Through Arthur's unfinished lecture/manuscript, Paton preaches his social doctrine.
- Ch. 21: Character development. James, who does not agree with his son's ideas, is now being drawn in by them as they are Arthur's last words. Theme: title development, "But there was no one to cry" (186). Notice that Arthur's focus is on "Christian civilization" (187). Dynamic character: James Jarvis admits to his wife that the manuscript is "worth reading" and tells her to read it (189).
* Perrine's
Ch. 6, Poem #1, "The Road Not Taken"by Robert Frost on pg. 807. Read and consider. Many Americans interpret this poem's message as individuality ("I took the [road] less traveled by,/ And that has made all the difference"). This is a poor interpretation. Can you find the line in the poem that refutes this? So, what does that conclusion mean?
HW: Cry, ch. 31-32
